I run. It's part my life. I am a single mom to a very active little girl. I run her to school and home. I run her to all the activities we do together.
I run for the enjoyment of it.
I run for the fact that I can.

What's Your Excuse?

Blah Blah Blah.

We all have our excuses as to why we don't follow through. The one I like to use the most is that "I don't have the time." I can legitimize that one in so many ways. I have 2 jobs. I work long hours. I am a single mother. I have to much other stuff going on.

While those are all true, the things that I have chosen to let consume my life, and give me the excuses that I use, are all about other people or things. Granted, as a single mom, my family is and should be my number one priority. The others, however, shouldn't be what I put before myself. When did I stop becoming so important to me. If I fall apart, everything I work so hard to do everyday will fall apart to. Plain and simple, right? But most of us fail to follow through with what we want to do. It truly is a sad thing.

When did we stop being important to ourselves?

I saw something posted on Facebook yesterday. A one hour workout is 4% of our day. What is so hard about taking that little bit of time in order to become a healthier person? Puts it into perspective. I know that I have started on a change in my life-but I still am working to hurdle over the excuses stage, primarily in the morning when I can't drag my tired butt out of bed.

So-here I put forth this afternoon-

1. I will get up and work out every morning. I won't be the one to use the excuse-I was to tired.

About Me

Hello!!

I was never one that though would even think about stepping out on the blacktop and start running. Then I was watching television one night in May 2010, and became inspired to start running. I went out and bought my first pair or running shoes and started. I did my first half marathon in January 2012. Here's to my new healthy adventure in life.
